In its first hundred years, Stanford Men's Basketball has seen huge successes and bitter disappointments. You can almost feel the sweat coming off the players as John Platz, their broadcaster and reporter for three decades, narrates key games with heart-pounding excitement in this definitive history of a truly legendary team.

Longtime Cardinal radio voice John Platz played basketball for Stanford in the early 80's before joining the broadcast booth, where he has been for 26 years. His feature writing on Stanford sports subjects has appeared in Stanford magazine and on gostanford.com. He currently resides in Mountain View, CA.
